Social Skills Group

Are you between the ages of 18 to 25 and interested in building your social skills?

We’re here to help!  Anderson Center Consulting & Training is offering a 6 week social skills program.  The small group setting is designed to teach young autistic and neurodivergent adults skills that can be applied in school, community, and work settings.  The group will meet once per week for 90-minute (instructional) sessions and will collaborate to plan community activities to be held throughout the program.  The program will focus on the areas of social comprehension, self-regulation, problem-solving, and understanding emotions.  Throughout the course of the program, group participants will work to develop their own Social Skills Plan.

    "We instantly knew that AELA was the facility for us. Our son was provided with specialized care, in a traditional style classroom. One year ago our son was non-verbal, today, he is putting sentences together, and able to make his needs known."
